Leftist anger, and resentment for their personal failures, knows no bounds. Facts and figures are manipulated to fit the ‘cause’. Contempt and delusion are ingrained so deeply that the basic functioning of even listening to another person’s opinion are quite impossible.
Exactly. When I saw the clip, I was amazed. My reaction is that although Susan R. acted most unprofessionally, anyone can lose it occasionally. That's why there are editors, to screen what actually goes on air. How did the CNN editor responsible for screening not know how awful this would look and let it through?
The answer, of course, is that CNN, and most of the MSM, has been so successful at indoctrinating the masses and pandering to the various noisy special interests, that they've lost all sense of what is appropriate as news.
Not to Mention the FFA should Investigate the CNN license for attacking America with a Propaganda broadcast.
Someone write the FAA and take CNN to court.
CNN is desperately trying to get its leftist audience back.
Sounds to me like CNN is so desperate they’re even using this womans meltdown as a ploy to get viewers. They’ll probably give her a prime spot and let her “interview” more conservatives when the returns.
Well put.
Fox News separates itself (as do several of the other news stations) into “news” and “commentary” programs. Commentary programs include Glenn Beck, O’Reilly, and Hannity, and feature the opinions of the hosts and guests.
The news programs present the news.
Unfortunately, this line is now being blurred even on Fox, but it has been eradicated from the mainstream media. It is now “opinion as news.”
The story of the Chicago tea party was not that Susan Roesgen disagreed; the story was that thousands of people - and many hundreds of thousands across the country - had met in protest of massive and wasteful government spending. Roesgen made the story about herself. And CNN, in this and other footage, made the story about its own naked political bias and willingness to present propaganda.
Somewhat predicted, and Napolitano must have sent her an Advance copy of the DHS memo ?.....Does the DHS memo make Napolitano a CNN lifetime member?

It WAS interesting that the Obama adminstration released the DHS memo the DAY BEFORE the April 15 events - citing pretty much anyone who isn’t a liberal as a “rightwing extremist” - and that Susan Roesgen would then use the line about “They don’t like government” in direct allusion to that memo.
And, of course, to your 2nd paragraph, the “Fairness Doctrine” will never include liberal media. That would be fair, and these people don’t give a damn about “fairness.”
In the old days, that's what would have happened. A few people would see the whole "interview" and millions and millions would have seen the edited version. The one where the conservative looks like sh-t.
If it weren't for the internet, she could have pulled off the usual CNN lie.
Thanks God for the internet.
The internet at least gives us a chance to seek out the truth. Because we’re not going to find it by turning on our TVs or reading our newspapers.
At the same time, in my own experience, I have found that liberals dominate the internet, as well, and maybe even more than the other sources. I believe this is because conservatives and independent traditional Americans have 1) jobs, 2) families, and 3) better things to do than waste hour after hour pursuing rabid politics.
Thus the conservatives with “time on their hands” will never match the number of liberals - because liberals are largely the useless eaters who have nothing BUT time.
I’m actually proud not to know this and am actually not sure if I want to know the answer.
But, will someone please explain to me what “teabagging” is and why it’s such a big deal Cooper said it?
I didn’t know either. But I just googled it and got this link:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_teabag_your_sex_partner
And now I understand Cooper’s reference: “It’s hard to open your mouth when your teabagging.”
Now I know. Thanks for the mental image, Anderson Cooper.
Mind you, to make such a reference to hundreds of thousands of Americans simply for showing up at an event is clearly completely legitimate journalism.
If he had any moral credibility at all, he would be ashamed of himself.
Boomers know how to use the internet - and they're going to have time on their hands - lot of time. In short - the largest part of our society will soon be conservative older adults.
Thanks for the link.....I’m still proud of not knowing what it was....lol
Older people tend to be more conservative - and the oldest boomer turns 63 this year. And there’s millions coming up behind those 63 year olds.

I hope you’re right. But I fear...
The retired generation is now more dependent on the government than workers, and the government is hard at work (e.g. socializing health care) to make them even more dependent yet.
